THE EPSON ECONOMIC CONTROLLERS Peripheral equipment They control manipulators and peripheral equipment fast, precisely and highly reliably. They offer high power — in most confined spaces. They are based on a robust, integrated system and are open on all sides. All in all, they are real controllers with respect to cost efficiency: The Epson RC180 slave controller and the PC-based RC620 master controller. RC180 and RC620: For everything you can ask for Both controllers are suitable for all Epson kinematics — for SCARA robots, 6-axis robots or the one and only Epson Spider with its 360° work envelope....

With a base area only slightly larger than an A4-sheet, Features & advantages the RC180 is incredibly small and yet extremely powerful. The small smart one of extremely good value was • Powerful and compact slave controller mainly designed for slave network operation. • Graded safety systems The RC180 controller has an operating system optimised for Epson robots and can be easily programmed via USB from an external PC. Programming via network is also possible which is ideal for projects led by several development engineers and administrators. There are numerous interesting options for the Epson...

RC180: SO MUCH IS POSSIBLE — IN THE SMALLEST SPACE The Epson RC180 is the most compact and lightweight controller of its performance class on the market. It is particularly flexible since the compact slave controller can be used for SCARA as well as for 6-axis robots. Apart from that the Option Units, which are designed like a modular system, provide further interfaces and technology modules. It just works — mounting options With its compact dimensions, the RC180 can be installed in a control cabinet. Thanks to the embedded system with no hard disk, the slave controller is robust and can be mounted...

EXCELLENT CONNECTIONS The expansion cards for communication with external devices and for integration into fieldbus networks can flexibly expand your system according to your requirements at a low cost. With the portable TP1 operating and display device or the OP1 operator pendant for operation and visualisation tasks, you have an eye on everything and everything under control. TP1 Teach Pendant — ergonomic and comfortable There are still some devices which only have the serial interface for communication. With the serial expansion card you can use up to four of those interfaces. The portable operating...

MORE THAN With the Epson RC+ 5.0 development environment Features & advantages you have all tools for fast and efficient programming at hand. The project management and development environment runs under the current Windows versions and communicates with the RC180 controller via USB and Ethernet. The open design also allows connection to external programming environments. Configuration Epson RC+ 5.0 and RC180 controller Usually, the RC180 is used as a slave controller of a higher-level cell controller, e.g. PLC or PC Your project is compiled in the RC+ environment and loaded to the controller....

It‘s great to see how complex projects become simple: The tools for the Epson RC+ 5.0 development environment are all you need to efficiently program your applications. Robot Manager — control also via TP1 Contains all robot-related information and controls in well-arranged windows: Jog & Teach, process points, loop parameters, work piece and robot coordinate systems, payload and inertia. At the Robot Control Panel, for example, motors can be switched on and off, a reset and homing can be executed.
